Basic stamp and serial lcd

rr

Hello,

I·am trying to control a serial lcd screen with my basic stamp. This is the lcd·I am using:

I thought that it would use the same code as the parallax serial lcds, but·I thought wrong... I just need to display simple lines of text, but·I am completly lost. I tried reading the data sheet for the controller it is based on but·I didnt really understand any of it. If anyone has some time to help me that would be great.
Here is the data sheet for the lcd:

Thanks

It works by just sending the text you want with SEROUT. You have to specify where to position the cursor. Here is a program I wrote that just ramps the backlight up and down and sends a few lines of text. Maybe it will help you get started.
